ℹ️ These figures refer to the Les Houches – Saint-Gervais ski area, which is shared by several resorts: kilometres of pistes, number of runs, lifts and lift pass are common to all of them. The figures shown here and on the pages of neighbouring resorts therefore refer to the same ski area and the same lift pass: they are not added together.
Les Houches is a family resort at 1,004 m in the Chamonix valley. Its Verte run is one of the most technical certified descents in Europe and has hosted World Cup races. Its 55 km offer reliable snow thanks to the north-facing slopes, and a more relaxed atmosphere than the rest of the valley.

Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
A resort on a human scale, Les Houches prides itself on the quality of its welcome and its closeness rather than on impressive figures. Its 55 km of pistes are ideal for a stay of 3 to 4 days, especially for families or skiers who don't need to constantly change their playground. The family reputation of Les Houches is well deserved: dedicated beginner areas, a well-organised childcare service, well-maintained green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for laying the foundations of skiing with children. The moderate altitude of Les Houches — starting at 1,008 m, with the summit at 1,900 m — makes it sensitive to climate variations. January and February remain the safest months for optimal snow cover. Outside this window, checking the snow reports before you travel is strongly recommended. The budget for a stay in Les Houches is clearly high: 59€ for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants among the most expensive in the Alps. It is the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you go. In short: Les Houches keeps its promises well. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most skier profiles without disappointing.
